  Clarissa is left with no other option than to fill the space of her run away cousin. Little did she know she was playing a game of fate and reality. Story turning, secrets unraveling, she finds out a truth, a truth that gets her to fall deeply in love with her story but at another end, the mistake of another causes her trouble.

Once upon a Time

All he worked hard for couldn't go down the drain. 


There was commotion in his surrounding and all he could think of next was to mingle with the crowd. 


"Stay where you are or I will shoot her!" He yelled and there was no movement. He gently pulled Clarissa away hoping to get to the door in time. 


"Put the Gun down Nicholas, it's over." Darius said.

"You shouldn't do this, put the gun down." Darius tried again but he shook his head furiously. 


"You guys always ruin everything for me! Can't I get what I want for once. She and I are supposed to be gone by dawn but no, you always ruin everything, you ruined EVERYTHING!!" His voice echoed around the room that Clarissa had to flinch from it. 


"Now who is it going to be? Her or.... her?" He pointed the gun to the face of the other woman without remorse.
